Dental implants are surgical-grade root devices that support permanent tooth prosthetics that are manufactured to last a lifetime.

INVISALIGN / BRACES

Invisalign is an orthodontic appliance system used to inconspicuously treat crooked and crowded teeth in adults and teens.

Your smile is the first impression that others have of you, so it makes sense that you would want it to be bright, white and healthy.

FAMILY DENTISTRY

Complete oral health may be our long-term goal, but our immediate priority is the patient comfort.

What people say about us…

“I love this clinic! I have been shopping around for a dentist I can trust and this clinic got my business. Dr. Frank Cavaness answered all of my questions and allowed me to view all my x rays as he went over them with me. He didn't try to push more work on me than what I actually needed just to make money. He was knowledgeable and honest. I am definitely going to continue to go back. ”Albert Jackman (Google Review)

“I just completed a year of Invisalign®, and I'm really all smiles. A couple of my co-workers asked who my dentist is, and want Dr. Cavaness as their dentist. Not only are my teeth in better shape and position, but he also worked with me and suggested a couple long term health/habit changes. Thank you, all, every one of you!”Brady H. (Yelp Review)
